Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2017 Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry Winner, NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in the Poetry category Winner, 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award Winner, 2018 BCALA Best Poetry Award Winner, Abel Meeropol Award for Social Justice Finalist, Neustadt International Prize for Literature Winner, 2021 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize One of the most magnetic and esteemed poets in today’s literary landscape, Patricia Smith fearlessly confronts the tyranny against the black male body and the tenacious grief of mothers in her compelling new collection, Incendiary Art. She writes an exhaustive lament for mothers of the "dark magicians," and revisits the devastating murder of Emmett Till. These dynamic sequences serve as a backdrop for present-day racial calamities and calls for resistance. Smith embraces elaborate and eloquent language— "her gorgeous fallen son a horrid hidden / rot. Her tiny hand starts crushing roses—one by one / by one she wrecks the casket’s spray. It’s how she / mourns—a mother, still, despite the roar of thorns"— as she sharpens her unerring focus on incidents of national mayhem and mourning. Smith envisions, reenvisions, and ultimately reinvents the role of witness with an incendiary fusion of forms, including prose poems, ghazals, sestinas, and sonnets. With poems impossible to turn away from, one of America’s most electrifying writers reveals what is frightening, and what is revelatory, about history.

Download or read book North American Stadiums written by Grady Chambers and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the inaugural Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, North American Stadiums is an assured debut collection about grace—the places we search for it, and the disjunction between what we seek and where we arrive. “You were supposed to find God here / the signs said.” In these poems, hinterlands demand our close attention; overlooked places of industry become sites for pilgrimage; and history large and small—of a city, of a family, of a shirt—is unearthed. Here is a factory emptying for the day, a snowy road just past border patrol, a baseball game at dusk. Mile signs point us toward Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Salt Lake City, Chicago. And god is not the God expected, but the still moment amid movement: a field “lit like the heart / of the night,” black stars stitched to the yellow sweatshirts of men in a crowd. A map “bleached / pale by time and weather,” North American Stadiums is a collection at once resolutely unsentimental yet deeply tender, illuminating the historical forces that shape the places we inhabit and how those places, in turn, shape us.

Download or read book Quantum Heresies Poems by Mary Peelen written by Mary Peelen and published by Glass Lyre Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Peelen's spare poems pulse with what they contain and describe--in both the imagistic and the mathematical sense of the word--harnessing the power of the sciences to navigate the chthonic worlds of illness, loss, and desire on both personal and planetary scales. Peelen denies the divisions of mind and body, art and science, precision and ardor. Her poems resonate with allusion (Lady Lazarus's hair as a supernova) and sound (copernicium, ununoctium). Peelen unveils new ways to make sense of our complicated, contradictory world. -- Elizabeth Bradfeld, naturalist and author of Once Removed

Download or read book Give Over the Heckler and Everyone Gets Hurt written by Jason Tandon and published by Black Lawrence Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tandon's keen eye and idiosyncratic ear - he picks up shards of language and refashions them, making new wholes from fragments of everyday speech - combine to create a poetry with its own quiet urgency. There is a music that plays beautifully from poem to poem, as the language in subtle ways probes the underlying beauties of casual syntax. I look forward to Tandon's future work with considerable anticipation, although glad to have what he has given us already." - Jay Parini, author of 'Why Poetry Matters' Jason Tandon is the author of one other collection of poetry, 'Wee Hour Martyrdom' (Sunnyoutside, 2008), and his poems and book reviews have appeared in 'Columbia Poetry Review, New York Quarterly, Notre Dame Review, Pleiades', and on 'Verse Daily'. He teaches at Boston University.

Download or read book Even Years written by Christine Gosnay and published by Wick First Book. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The poems in Christine Gosnay's first book, Even Years, speak with a voice that animates and astonishes us as they delineate and explore, trace and explode, the 'order of shapes in the light'--the order of words, of moments in a life, of shifts in perspective between the 'cleave and / Cleave' of language. In these piercing and evocative poems, we see, as in the poems of Stevens and Dickinson, 'The back of the eye / where it has been struck by all things' ('N-gram'). "Surprising and moving, Gosnay's work shows us what the 'clean blue sleeve' of language can do, and we are transformed and held by this book the way the speaker in the final poem is compelled by a 'photograph of rose baskets in Morocco': 'Nothing on earth could keep me from pressing it to my face.'" --Angie Estes, author of Enchant�e and winner of the 2015 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award
